PLOT OF THE WORLD OF WARCRAFT III:
It’s entirely through cinematic and cut scenes, with an additional information available in the Manual of the game. The First option of the game is Campaign, divided into five sections. The first section is tutorial that tells you the whole story of the game and also a guide of “how to play the game”. The other parts tell you the story from different point of views about the races humans of Lordaeron, the Undead Scourge, the Orcs, and the Night Elves. In the previous versions of Warcraft games, there were only two races which were Orcs and Humans, but when the Warcraft III launched the Night Elves and the Undead Scourge were added as playable races.
When the game begins the Thrall which is the leader of the Orcs appears walking from his house in his nightmare. He is warned by someone from the back of the Burning Legion (a demon army known as the Burning Legion intent on Azeroth’s destruction corrupted the race of Orcs, sent them through a portal to attack Azeroth).When he wakes up, he encounters with a man called “the prophet”. THE PROPHET exclaims that his dream was an indication more than a nightmare. After the correspondence with Prophet, he goes back to his army and leads them in an exodus from Lordaeron to the forgotten lands of Kalimdor from where the players are supposed to begin the game.
For players to play on there are several maps of different sizes available in the game. Some maps are the location of large plains and fields while the others are with river, mountains, seas and cliffs. In Campaign or Multiplayer mode, the map is initially covered with the black fog, remains unrevealed until the player’s hero or any allied force explores the area of the map. Once the allied forces or hero explore the area, the map will be revealed and you can see the specific explored area on your mini map (located on the bottom left corner of your screen). Areas that have been explored but are no longer in use will again get covered with the fog of war.
There are only three main resources that need to be managed in the game Gold, Lumber, and Food. Gold and lumber are very important things and play a vital role in the construction of buildings and units. Whereas, your control on units is subject to the number of foods you have. More food means more Units. The maximum allowed food is 120 at a time, through which you can control 120 units including peon/soul (workers), wagons and other controlling units. Some maps of Warcraft III have an exceptional limit of 200 foods.
This game also includes “CREEPS”, computer controlled units that are hostile to all players. Neutral creeps guard the key areas, such as Gold mines or any neutral tech building. Moreover, players can pick experience points, gold, and special items by killing them through their heroes.
Players can pick their heroes from a variety of Taverns. There are basically 3 types of Heroes:
1. Strength (POWER, means more HP (hit point))
2. Agility (SPEED, means more AS (attacking speed))
3. Intelligence (SPELL CASTER, means more MANA (from which a hero can casts his spells)
After selecting a hero you will see that there are two bars appearing in the middle of your screen. First is the red bar indicating your HP and second one is the blue bar indicating the MANA level of your hero. If you want your hero to become strongest, try to achieve the highest level of your hero and that is 25.
There is a Day/Night cycle in Warcraft III having some advantages and disadvantages. All the neutral creeps will fall asleep at night, so it’s safe to scout at night. Depending upon your chosen race, it can either be advantageous or harmful for your hero.
